Group honors Pier 45 among top outdoor dining spots

For the second consecutive year, Rochester’s Pier 45 has been selected as one of the Top 100 Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in the U.S. by OpenTable, an online real-time restaurant reservation service.

Each year, OpenTable compiles nearly 5 million reviews on its site made by diners. The company said more than 15,000 restaurants from across the country with “outdoor dining” listed as a characteristic were eligible to make the list.

For the second year in a row, Pier 45, located at the Port of Rochester, was the only Rochester-area restaurant that made the list. The dining spot had a rating of 3.9 out of 5 stars at OpenTable, compared to a rating of 4.1 out of 5 last year.
